Well here I am again. It's taken me this long to blog again b/c I've been trying to make this glorious comeback with a pimpin' new blog skin and maybe even some sweet tunes for your audio pleasure in the background, but alas my efforts have been thwarted by the evil that is world of html codes, and jargon that I claim complete ignorance to. Frustration overtook me, and was unable to decipher the mysteries written in the lingo, so I apologize once again, for a lack of interesting graphics.
Anyway, so my friend (the same one who called down the wrath of the gods down on our heads with that foul excuse for a cleanse), has gone off to become a hero to countless children who battle for their lives as she nurses in Haiti for 2 weeks. I was so excited for her when she told me about the trip b/c I know that this has been a longing in her for a long time and the reason that she decided to take her nursing course. So I have been assisting in packing and organizing her for the last week and I have to admit that I'm a little jealous. Ok more then a little jealous. As I've watched her become more and more excited about going to work with the orphans and the people there, I've been reminded of Romania, and the kids I worked with there, and it's caused me to dream about stowing away in her luggage (seriosuly that backpack would fit me, it's HUGE!) and going with her. I've found myself thinking what I wouldn't give to be going with her right now. I miss it so much.
It's so true that once you go overseas, or travelling at all you get "The Bug". B/c I've found that I start to get very itchy to go somewhere where the first language isn't english, or where I won't understand everything all the time. Some people would define that as absolute madness, but I love it. As a little kid I used to find those huge globes in stores and spin it and put my finger on it and close my eyes and whereever my finger stopped that's where I would live when I grew up. I remember doing that for hours, I'll still do it sometimes. Ah nostalgia. I heard an interesting quote today: "Aim for the Moon, that way if you miss, you'll still land amoung the stars. "
Anyhoo, that's about all for today. OH! Quick tip, go see Open Season, great movie. I found it funnier then Over the Hedge. SO yeah, that'a bout all for now. Ciao!

HTML is impossible, isn't it? I only know a little bit about it myself. Just enough to have a funky blog template. :)
I really want to see 'Open Season' if for no other reason than my kids keep quoting it and laughing their heads off and I feel out of the loop!
